However, another thing is bugging me. Tinanong niya ako kung hinahanap din ba namin ang susi. Din. Too. Which means that... someone other than us is looking for the key too?
If their father was the person behind the key being on the pirate's hands, may iba pang humahanap dito mabilan sa'min. Who? And for what? Nalaman niya bang ito ang makakapagbukas sa castle kaya niya ito ginawa?
"Sol," tawag ni Feyre. "Ayos ka lang?"
Tumango ako at ngumiti sa kaniya. She sighed.
"I wished for the greatest adventure but this," she gestured at Cord and Aisling who were now busy looking for a boat. "Is so confusing. What are we going to achieve after all this, Sol? Why can't you just give them the sword and be done? Let's just find other things to do. This whole interfering with their personal problems, at kung totoo man ang makipagaway sa gumawa, won't it affect us in the real world too?"
Naalala ko ang Feyre na may kinang sa mata habang nakipagpromise sa'kin na gagawa kami ng isang legend - a myth that will forever live. But now all of it was gone and was replaced by worry and anxiousness.
"I don't know what we're going to see at the end. Pero... I know what I want to see. And it's the image of Hiraeth waking up and enjoying his life. It's the image of us making the greatest story."
"You're not afraid?"
Mahina akong natawa. "You should know that I'm trembling terribly inside. Natatakot ako sa mangyayari at ang resulta nito. Sometimes I wish this was just a dream and I didn't take this sword."
Napakurap-kurap siya at tumingin sa espada na hawak ko. Bigla na lang siyang tumawa ng malakas, with the most joyful tone, na nagpakuha ng atensiyon ng mga kasama.
"Right! If you think about it, it's your fault for taking that sword!"
Sumimangot si Hex at tumabi sa kaniya. "You really laugh like this when it's Solace. Pero kapag kami ang tawa mo nang-aaway."
Feyre immediately stopped laughing after hearing his words. "Oh tapos? Maging funny kasi kayo."
"Wala ka sigurong sense of humor."
"Ako? Ako pa talaga, sandali lang ha," tumingin si Feyre sa'min. "Alam niyo bang nag-attempt na magjoke si Hex sa'kin?!"
"Hindi at wala kaming paki-alam," sagot ni Voldmir.
"Ito, ito. Sabi niya," tumawa siya at hindi napagpatuloy ang sinasabi.
"Akala ko ba hindi nakakatawa po?" nakakunot noong tanong ni Minerva.
"Hahaha! Sandali- ang lame talaga, hahaha!"
"We found a boat," malakas na tugon ni Cord.
"Oh. Okay," binalingan ko sila. "We should go now then-"
"Wait! Sandaliii, hahaha!"
"Ano ba kasi ang joke?" pagod kong tanong.
"Sabi niya alam mo ba na ang justice mas mabuti kapag ni-serve ng cold kasi kapag warm, justwater na lang 'yon. HAHAHAHA!" napapahampas pa siya sa balikat ni Hex dahil sa sobrang tawa, habang ang binata naman ay ngumingiti nang marinig ang joke niya.
I buffered for a few seconds. Ilang sandali ko pa bago nakuha. I scoffed a laugh and boarded the boat while shaking my head. That was so lame.
"Lame," sagot ni Voldmir.
"Kaya nga! Hahaha! Walang'ya, ang pangit niya magjoke!" natatawang sang-ayon ni Feyre.
"Bakit ka tawa ng... tawa?" Vesta asked the question we were wondering.
